Garden whimsy: BarbieQ’s barbeque roost

Garden Junk fun!, My Big Garden Project

~~ A Flea Market Gardening ‘My Big Garden Project’~~

Meet the ruler of this roost!

This project just makes us smile…that ‘hairdo!’  Dandi Gentry picked the best theme ever for a chicken coop when she entered this project in our Flea Market Gardening January Project Challenge!  When you get invited to a BBQ at Dandi’s house, this rooster rules the roost…and BEEF is served!

Here's a picture of BarbieQ lol! He's a wild one. Painting has begun!

Dandi Gentry says, “This is my January Project, not for the garden,…but for my rooster that lives in the garden! We’re making him a coop because he’s getting a little feisty and he needs a space of his own.  We named this “The Chopping Block” and came up with some cute ideas how to decorate it.

Dandy sketched out a drawing and then painted the side panel with a charming poultry portrait.  The red and black color combo is fresh and different and the U-Neek old condiment lids, like mayonnaise and barbecue sauce added quirky character and whimsy!

 

Dandi Gentry says, 'BBQ's chicken coop! I just added old jar lids for some added character.'
